Yeah my wife just called me to tell me mine is waiting for me, so I will be stopping on the way home to pick it up. She also knows that I will be busy for the rest of the night so she has already made other plans.. |

The controls are just like Gran Turismo. The graphics are outstanding! The sound is gonna be the same so/so quality you've come to expect from GT. I just took the XB12R out and the vtwin sound is just ok. The jap bikes should be much better. Pretty cool so far. Did I say the graphics were great. Too bad it's not a 360 title... TK |

So the XB is ready to go from the moment you pop the game in? No unlocking it by beating certain modes and such? This sounds great! Controls are all the same...so X is gas, square is brakes, Tri is REVERSE LOL! They must have a goldwing in there somewhere. (Message edited by kowpow225 on April 05, 2006) |

Yes, there is two player mode, in Arcade mode. That is where you can take the Buells out right away. The handling is a bit watered down though in Arcade mode(easier). It looks like in simulator mode, you have to unlock 2 XBR's by winning challenges once you have the appropriate license. Yes there are scooters too. In fact they force you to ride them for novice licensing. I kind of like em...I may have to trade the Lightning in... TK |

By the way, I don't know if anyone new about this, but the XB12R isn't only the Buell. There is an XB9SX CityX!!! The game is a lot of fun and very challenging. It's going to take a lot of practice to be any good at this game! |

Kinda f***** up when riding a REAL bike is easier than playing a video game. + 100 It might be, probably is, just the controllers that I have... Is there any way to calibrate / recalibrate the sticks to the console? Sooo dang touchy - it's nearly full throttle or nothing. Very little granularity in between. Any suggestions for controllers better suited for a biking game? |

Use the right analog stick for brakes and gas. It is much smoother less all or nothing. Where is the Lightning? Is it a bonus bike because I do not see it right now. |

Gschuette, Go to arcade mode and when you are going to pick your bike go to the 1000 cc bikes. It is in that group. |

I have gotten 2 licenses so far, but I still suck. Thank goodness I can ride better in real life . I am getting better and getting more smooth on my turns. So at some point I might actually be able to catch the bolt in front of me and get to keep the bike.. |

Sounds about like every other motorcycle game, hard to get the controls figured out. And you have to anticipate the track to be fast, just like in real life. |

Buddy and I raced for awhile tonight, and he raved about the Honda NSR 250/ I was on a GSXR1000. He got on XB at end of night and set his best lap time by 2 sec. I was 38 sec behind |

I got the XB to go over 200 mph. Are there any XB's with a 6 speed or capable of doing anything like this? |

spent most my time on the xb's, but the duc is pretty good, and the mv agusta is sweet! anyone notice when you get to the xbr, that in the upper right hand corner it says xb9r but at the bottom it says 12r... black bike and black frame and 100 horse make a 12 to me! |
